Rare Vintage Talsint Tribal Rug ~NOW 25% OFF

Only a limited number of these color saturated works of abstract art have reached the mainstream market. They are rare and highly collectible. Talsint, also known as Ait Bou Ichaouen rugs are handwoven by women in remote areas of northeast Morocco between the Atlas Mountains and the Algerian border. This nomadic tribe lives predominately in tents and their rug designs are heavily inspired by the surrounding natural landscape – mountain peaks, valleys and dramatic seasonal weather. The colors and patterns used in their textiles are often bold and striking...and this is one is reversible. One side is dimensional and the other is flatwoven. The rugs produced in this area have only been discovered within the last thirty years due to the tribe’s remote geographic isolation. 

Beyond use as beautiful floor coverings, these rugs are fabulous as wallhangings or bed comforters.

Note: Due to the handwoven nature of these textiles, wear consistent with age and use is normal. This may include small worn areas, fraying and color bleeding.
